My current studio practice is based on the construction and deconstruction of modular type. 

By using the Vandercook 232P letterpress machine, Alpha-Blox & Futura Schmuck woodcut fonts to construct shapes, letters,words & phrases then deconstructing them into the abstract by rearranging the prints, tearing and wheat pasting to create layers and movement. 

The simplicity of breaking the alphabet down into its most basic elements and allowing the assembly of these shapes into seemingly endless combinations appeals to my analog self.

Coming soon....
